CVS

The source code and documentation for the Zoltan library is maintained under the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) software. CVS allows multiple developers to edit their own copies of the software and merges updated versions with the developers' own versions.

On Sandia's 980 SON LAN, CVS is accessed through the following path:

/Net/local/gnu/bin/cvs  for Sun workstations running Solaris.
Developers must set the CVSROOT environment variable to the repository directory:
setenv CVSROOT username@software.sandia.gov:/space/CVS-Zoltan
where username is the developer's username on the CVS server software.sandia.gov. To get a working copy of the Zoltan software, the CVS check-out facility is used:
cvs checkout -P Zoltan
Other useful CVS commands update a developer's working directory, merging the developer's changes with those in the repository:
cvs update
and check into the repository a developer's changes:
cvs commit
The UNIX man page for cvs contains information on these and other useful CVS commands.
